I met my husband while I was a missionary in Hong Kong. He had swum out of China after the Cultural Revolution. We have been married 32 years and have four children (2 biological and 2 adopted), ages 22-30. My mother also lives with us (she just turned 90). I am truly a blessed woman.

He reigns

Here's some more encouragement from God's Word for "such a time as this".

The Lord reigns.

“Do you not fear me? declares the Lord; do you not tremble before me? I placed the sand as the boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass; though the waves toss, they cannot prevail; though they roar, they cannot pass over it.”—Not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.

He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.—“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed.”

If God is for us, who can be against us?—“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”

Ps. 99:1; Jer. 5:22; Ps. 75:6, 7; Dan. 2:21; Matt. 24:6; Rom. 8:31; Matt. 10:29-31
